...Bush's ill-fated attempts last week to twist the words of his rival are inexcusable. Gore might have been willing to debate "anytime, anyplace, anywhere," but such debates only have meaning if they are seen by a large segment of the American populace (not possible through the cable-only CNN) and if they are initially broadcast live and unedited (not possible under the format of NBC's "Meet the Press...
...part of his retooling for the homestretch, the candidate who six weeks ago held a 12-point lead over the vice president is now insisting he's the "underdog."

While it's not Estevez's fault that he sounds exactly like his brother, a firearms-industry representative says the hire was no accident. "Let's just say this...
...answer to the latter question is never seriously in doubt, but Stine offers a battery of heavy-breathing, vicarious shocks along the way as Danielle struggles with such basic bugaboos as guilt, abandonment and helplessness. And he adds a neat twist at the end suggesting Danielle's strange ordeal may be getting its second wind...
